Art that doesn't need its own thread

[Hawku]

Nice! Love the shading and line work.

 

[BOO-ing Hearts of Qo'nOs]

Thank you!

 

[Santaman]

Really impressive.

VizRT has functionally stopped development on LightWave, and now with the news that Octane is dropping development as well it's looking like LW is truly dead. One of the Facebook LW groups I'm part of has been paying tribute by having people make collages of our LW art surrounding photos of ourselves; here's mine. Nothing Star Trek made the cut, but wanted to post it anyway.

Oh that's terrible news about Octane dropping support for LW. Wonderful renders you have though!

I was at Memory Beta taking a look at the 1978 Star Trek Annual from World Distributors in Great Britain…and the Klingon ship, though inaccurate, is worthy of a model…the hull has quite a lovely shape. 1986’s still had a nice TOS ship, but the 1979 version was…well…a little comical…

Over at the REPLICA PROP FORUM (RPF) there is an astonishing 1:1 replica of the 11 footer that was 3D printed by Russell Meyers that is worth a look.

I'm definitely not the first to have this idea, but I decided to try making a followup to the TMP uniforms as they might appear in a post-TMP series. I tried red, but I think the division colors (which are simplified compared to both TMP and TWOK) look better on charcoal gray.

 

[BOO-ing Hearts of Qo'nOs]

Those are really cool! They feel like a very organic transition to the maroons but unique enough not to just look like a mash up. Nice work!

I spent all winter doing nothing but head/face practice and finally tried to draw an actual person that people would need to recognize!

There was a fan-vote winner from the Cryptic "Design the Next Enterprise " contest (from years back) that I always liked, and I was working on and off on a final polish and tweak of the design. I'm probably never going to resume work on it, so here's some WIP images.

More here.
